I'm Registered

I am registered and hotel is booked including Thursday night. I also registered for the Thursday Night Fun Run. Anyone else registered for that?

We actually have a 1967 small block 4-spd Corvette Convertible. If our plans to go to Florida the 2 weeks leading into BOBFEST fall thru and are therfore coming to Illlinois from our home in Ontario we may just bring that car too! It would be a blast to be there with the car but not hang out with the Corvette-Weenies (did I say that out-loud?) We have owned that car for nearly 20 years, did a full restoration on it but have never fit in with that group! The C-W's are so anal about doing anything other than total stock. (we actually restored the car 'nearly stock' just did a certain amount of stainless: bolts, exhaust gas & brake lines etc) Those jokers look down on anyone who prefers to drive Your car the way you want it, they make me kind of want to hurl .

Anyway, having spouted all of that, and having never met any of this XLR Net group we are hoping that you are all just a bunch of great car people that appreciate all cars (even though we know in our hearts that our XLR are virtually the COOLEST car anywhere)

From what I can tell from this forum you all seem to be our kind of people!

Sandy, it will be great having you guys & your cool toys @ MAM Funfest/BobFest '11. The real fun is @ BobFest. You'll have a Blast! This is a great group of people who enjoy cars & having fun together.

I have driven with y'all before .... the distance is probably correct, but I have a feeling the time is off by about >10min

It all depends on who is leading the group!! I only found out last year, that my V has brake lights.

I have a meeting scheduled with MAM next Friday (Aug 5). We will be going over the needs of the group. Any special requests? Last year we were at a dozen cars. This year? How much space do we need? 15 cars?

I'll request the air conditioned tent and full catering with an open bar. HAHAHA

On another note, I have yet to secure another block of hotel rooms. Still working on it.

That's great, Bob. It was a great time last year at the Alamo. Excellent food and it was great having the entire upstairs to ourselves (but I'm sure the sound carried throughout the restaurant ).

Can't wait - I'm hoping for more XLR's than last year even. Lets shoot for at least 20 XLR's! I know you have plenty of room on your front lawn parking.

 

[rleonard]

We have been able to reserve an additional 6 rooms at the Holiday Inn Express. 217-235-2060. If these fill up, Comfort Suites has rooms available. Because of the "special event" they will not reserve a block.

I would urge you to reserve your room asap.

That will be a treat in itself. Maybe they can do Karaoke while driving in the golf cart.
